It's crazy to hear Mike just "play" because he's always teaching. I have a whole new respect for him.

Amazing feel. Are you guys going to have video lessons from him as well? His lessons are the best on the web.

Mike is awesome! Great teacher and stand up good guy. With all his students, he still makes the lessons feel personalized. I have been a student for 3years and have hundreds of lessons archieved. The guys one of the best instructors around. God Bless ya Mikeslessons.com

I can honestly say that his kit sounds better (i know, irrelevant) but Mike is such a creative and flavorful drummer, that latin feel with those new cymbals just sounded explosive. With those cymbals, the latin style had a totally diferent feel to it than it would have with say zildjian or paiste.

It's so cool to see Mikey just playing drums. I love his lessons but it's fun to watch him just jam too.

Peace,

Awesome sounds Mike, those cymbals do make you a different drummer in my opinion.

It's an honor to be one of your students!

I m so happy for Mike, making the switch to meinl, he is a great instructor, he really focuses and works a lot to provides us the students what is necessary to be a well rounded drummer, not just as a player but also as a person
